Although analysis of scoliotic deformity is still studied extensively by means of conventional roentgenograms, computer-assisted digital analysis may allow a faster, more accurate and more complete evaluation of the scoliotic spine. In this study, a new computer-assisted measurement method was evaluated. This method uses digital reconstruction images for… (More)

Quantitative analysis of 3D spinal deformities includes measurements related to individual vertebrae and measurements related to the overall shape of the spine. For the latter aspect, we propose to build a 3D model of the line that connects all vertebrae centres. We present two methods that allow reconstructing this vertebral body line in a quick and easy… (More)
